generally,
data side = Layer0
cover side = Layer1

if you examine the ring codes using a magnifying glass they are burned/ached on different sides of the disc.

mould code from the data side belongs to layer0, label side to layer1.

ps2/psx/psp discs or generally discs which have a "dummy" ring code should be added using the layer1 line for this information.

i hope everything is clarified now )

Can someone, please, explain on this sample how to use tabulators?

Both IFPIs go to IFPI fields.

F1ReB4LL thank you! I thought it's  much more difficult.

Another question - what about images and logos in ringcodes? I have discs with this images in rings:

and also specials chars (stars etc).
Should I submit it (and how?) or just ignore it?

Single stars inside the ringcodes - yes, needed. Multiple stars like "* ** *******" aren't needed. Try to PM iRr0b0t about the logos. We usually include "Mastered by Nimbus" logo as text into the ringcode field, so these ones should be also included at the very end of the ringcode, IMO. Or, at least, in the comments.

iR0b0t: maybe one more field is needed for these logos? Mastering Code, Mastering Logos (?), Mastering SID Code, Toolstamp, Mould SID Code, Additional Mould Text?

I would like to know/carify if those "+ +" on Xbox1 Ringcodes are part of the Mastering Code (Ringcode) or part of the Toolstamp.
I just noticed that Enker is adding them as part of the Mastering Code (Ringcode) while others (including me) are setting them as part of the Toolstamp.
Any thoughts so we can align on it and having them added all by the same way?

IIRC they are laser burned therefore should be part of the Mastering Code (Ringcode).

And i think there should be a [TAB] between both plus signs, as they seem to be there for alignment of the toolstamp numbers (auto focus for the machine when aching/stamping).

They are part of the mastering code, but they don't always have a space between them. Most should have [TAB], but the dumpers will need to confirm if there is a space or not.

Here are some scans for reference:
No space
TAB

Seems to be valid for discs/layers mastered by IFPI LB48 factory only, not 100% sure though.

Bumped the thread to highlight this so that everyone can see this. According to F1ReB4LL, the logos of the mastering ring code must be placed at the very end of mastering ring codes, this way: blablablablablabla[TAB][LOGO]
